George Kell 1956 Game by Game Batting Logs

George Kell appeared in 123 Major League games during the 1956 regular season. The chart below is a comprehensive analysis of the games Kell appeared in, specifically relating to his 1956 hitting statistics. Notes: The Date / Box field has a link to the box score from the game being described. If the Date is followed by an asterisk (*), Kell started during that game at the first position listed in the Position(s) column. Cumulative monthly totals are provided where applicable.

"Third base remains baseball's enigmatic position, the only one in which fielding prowess stands on equal ground with hitting skill. It is the rarest of combinations and one that has sent just 11 former Major Leaguers to the Baseball Hall of Fame -- the fewest of any position. George Kell, one of those 11, died Tuesday at the age of 86. During his playing days, his skills with the lumber and the leather produced one of baseball's most consistent players of the mid-20th century." - Researcher Craig Muder (National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, 03/24/09)
